Frequently Asked Questions — Pulmonology in Chennai
What is a pulmonary function test (PFT) and is it available at MedWorksPlus?
A PFT (also called spirometry) measures how well your lungs work — the volume of air you can inhale and exhale and how fast. It is the key diagnostic test for asthma and COPD. Yes, PFT is available on-site at MedWorksPlus.
Can asthma be cured?
Asthma cannot be permanently cured, but with the right inhaler regimen, trigger avoidance, and medical guidance, most people with asthma lead completely normal, active lives with minimal or no symptoms.
What are the symptoms of sleep apnea?
Common symptoms include loud snoring, witnessed pauses in breathing, waking up with a headache or dry mouth, excessive daytime sleepiness, and difficulty concentrating. Sleep apnea significantly increases the risk of hypertension and heart disease — early treatment is important.
How long does TB treatment take in India?
Standard TB treatment (under the RNTCP / National TB Elimination Programme) takes 6 months for most cases. Our pulmonologists guide patients through the full course of treatment and monitor for side effects and treatment response.
